THE MOONEY CASE. “Justice Raped in California”, is the title of an enlightening pamphlet published by the Tom Mooney Mold- ers’ Defensc Committee and purport- ing to be the “story of so-called bomb plots in San Francisco”. The fifth edi- tion is just off the press. There are | forty-eight pages of small type, and sixty-four illustrations, all to show that Tom Mooney, sentenced to be hanged at San Quentin prison, Cali- fornia, for allegéd bomb-throwing ac- tivities‘on Preparedness Day, July 22, | 1816, in San Francisco, is the victim | of a “Frame-up System.” [ President Wilson, probably influ- | enced by the startling revelations in | the Mooney case, has ordered a new inquiry into the whole affair. The De- partment of Justice and a special com- ‘.‘mission will seek after the truth which has been so far carefully concealed in a maze of perjury and fraud. What- ever is the standing of the aforemen- tioned pamphlet, this much is certain: | “There something rotten in Den- mark”. And the fair name of Justice is in California cannot be cleared until Tom Mooney is either adjudged guilty or innocent by his peers from outside of the state. Frank C.

Let There Be Cheers and Waving of Ilags For Boys Going to Camp Devens, Says Writer. Sept. To the Editor of the Herald: Through the columns of your val- uable paper I would like to say a few words in regard to the men who leave i here in a week or two for training in the new National Army at Ayer, M What could be more fitting than an official send-off, such as was accord- ed the men, selected under the new Service Law, on last Thursday, when mothers, wives and sweethearts waved { @ last fond farewell, and with proud | hearts looked on at their gallant sons who have gone to the colors. It was a glorious send-off, to these hoys who to prepare for the serious husiness of grim warfare. On with the ceremonies and par- ade for the second quota of men who aro soon to leave. If there be sobs and heartaches, or if there be any feeling of regret at the boys going way, to undergo rigid military training, these must be done away with. Cheers and waving of flags and kerchiefs along the line of march will do much to enlighten the hearts of these patriots. Many days will pass boys will sail for the blood-soaken battlefields of France. They must | train, and drill, and train, before they 4re shipped overseas.

(From the New York Journal of Commerce.) It may be necessary to make an ex- ample of same of the leaders who are attempting to organize subjects of the government of the-United States so to hamper and obstruct its action while engaged in war for the decfence of free government against the designs of despotism. So far as their efforts may be successful they will he treason- able in effect and deserve ta be treated as such. The leading organization for conducting pacifist activity avowedly “along new and aggressive lines” as- sumes the pretentious title of the Pcople’s Council of America. It is said that 2,500,000 of persons * who op- pose the war are to be enrolled im- mediately,” and further recruits to the same cause are to be sought by “a systematic propaganda which will extend to every city, town and ham- let in the country.”” A conference has been held in this city sinve the fi coes at Minneapolis and Chicago, it said “with morc zest than ever.” Pro- fessor Nearing to devote his entire time to the work with headquarters in this citv. There is a published state- meut that “the work of financing the peace movement, which is said to en- tail expense of $ 000 a week, will be | vested in the exccutive committee of | fitteen,” There is another body, more or less i organized, under the name of the | American Union Against Militarism, which, according to published stat ments coming from Washington, been addicted to some pernicious false pretense in its agitation, The direc- tor of its chief bureau of propaganda activity, Roge Baldwin by name, is reported as having represented to Secretary Paker of the War depart- ment that some of his young friends wha had heen drafted for-the National Army had conscientious scruples against serving and had excited the sympathy i to induce him to ask to have their cases laia before himself. [t seems hardly credible that the secretary of war should have encour such ap- plcation, likely to give him no end of trouble, but the result of his alleged assurance was that a circular was sent over the country advising ‘“‘conscien- tious objectors,” who make such a claim and fail to secure exemption, to write to the secretary of war e plaining their “refusal to participate in the war and pointing out that the government will be put to useless ex- pense in trying to train them for that cervice.” In a circular sent out to be distributed to these “objectors” they are advised as a last resort to appeal to the president. If this appeal is rejected. it is said, “there is no one left to appeal to but yvourself,” which, if it has any meaning at all, is equi- valent to advising actual refusal to serve. When this use of the mails was discavered order was given to hold up the matter virtually promoting a spirit of treason in refusing to serve the governnient, until an examination could be made to determine the facts and their significance and a decision could be rendered. An effort is being made by some prominent and pre- sumably conscientious pacifists to have this ban removed and the treason- breeding stuff aliowed to be scattered over the country. “The executive authority of the| United States has heen and still is very considerate of the right of freedom of thought and of speech, and in time of peace equally regardful of the Tight of action within the limits of the civil law.

Yet. we fear some Zossip mongers and rumor vakers are beyond redemption. In small community like Rockville, | o isn't a single day that goes by | that a newspaper i give the lie to a cossiver or run down | a rumor. And there js much gossip and many rumors that do not even | got to a newspaper office. What a | hetter world this would be, what a hapnier lot peonle we would have right here in Rockville and in every | other community in this and every other state. if we all thought less of self and more of the other fellow. he zossip mongers and rumor mak: ers, who are quick to injure others would be the first to resent any at- tempt to njure them unjustly.

The small town, where oftentimes | evervbody knows everybody else’s ' business, is fertile soil for the sower of scandal. the gossip grabber. the rumor renegade.

Uy, that | it is a slow and tedious process to | bind up the wounds. | Instead of passing along a rumor, | pin the rumor maker down. TIf he | or she refuses to be pinned down, | make up your mind then and there that there is nothing to the rumor. When you come across the individual who plays fast and loose with slander, gossip and rumors. put him or her ihrough the third degree instead of rushing out’ and unknowing! put- ting the poison virus on your own tongue, where it promptly infects others and cventually may infest a | whole neighborhood. Character and reputation are worth too much these days to be injured by thoughtless and idle word Learn to hold vour {ongue unless you can speak well of others and know beyond any doubt that you are speaking the truth. Let every decent, respectable man and woman in every community ostracise the professional slander slinger, the gossip monger and maker of rumors. Refuse to repeat their rot and they'll soon become sick of their job and seek some more genteel and useful employment, which will help other humans and themselves. Soldier Insurance. (Waterbury Democrat). One of the uses to which it is pro- posed to devote part of the proceeds of the liberty loan bonds is to afford to our soldiers and sailors life and indemnity insurance and to provide for allowances to their dependent families while they are in the ranks. On this point Secretary McAdoo of the treasury, whose plan of insurance for our fighting men was endorsed by | President Wilson and is now em- bhodied in a law pending before con- “Fvery soldier and sail- or who serves his country in this war will earn everything the proposed war insurance bill provides: to be a bene- ficiary of the proposed law will he a badge of honor.

It is a baffling psychological mys- tery why hat. 3 i It is a confession, carried aloft like banner, that she needs unnatural ids to make her beautiful. bird adorns the woman; no woman adorns a bird. To refined minds, the woman is prettier without the bird; to all minds, the bird is prettier without the woman. The bird on the woman's hat is a mark of murder, the most cruel and heartless that the mind can conceive. And it is a mark of even more than that, it is a constant reminder that the vanity of woman can ruthlessly throttle the sweetest music that ever kissed the soul, enslave the most per- fect type of freedom, mar the purest thing of beauty in the world, and can then place the evidence of her heart- lesg crimes above her brow and ask us to look and think her more beau- tiful! 1s it, then, to be wondered at that humanity has sickened of it, and is saving, through the law and the game wardens, that the song-birds shall stay where God put them—in the fields and the woods?

(Toronto Mail and Empire.) Mr. Bonar Law’s admission that the financial conditions of the Allies would now be disastrous, if the United States had not come into the war when {t did, is cause for real thinking. The Allies were far nearer defeat this spring than the public realizes. The issue is not yet really decided. That is why neutrals seem so incomprehensibly afraid to risk any unpleasantness with Germany. The Swedish Election. (New York Herald.) However it may strike Swedes, it is no secret that the rest of the world is not nearly so much interested in that eutopsy on a monarch wha has bacn dead two hundred years as it is ir the verdict which the Swedish people, acting as a coroner’'s jury, will render at the polla in the casa of the present Swedish government.
